What we know so far

FanDuel online sportsbook was slated to launch at 4 p.m. on Monday. Initial efforts to login were met with a “website unavailable” message. Technical difficulties pushed the start time to 7:30 p.m.

Around 7:45 p.m. the site launched. However, some users had difficulty accessing the app via iPhone.

No need to download a different app to use the FanDuel online sportsbook in Pennsylvania either. Android and iOS users are prompted to download an upgrade to existing FanDuel apps. From there, the app handles the geolocating.

Users can simply login with their existing credentials to access the site. According to FanDuel support and reports from a few users, you have access to New Jersey funds. Meaning, if you have already deposited on the site in New Jersey, you can bet with that money rather than deposit all over again.

“It was a pleasant surprise,” said one user, who placed a bet on the White Sox vs. Marlins game. “After waiting all day I guess it made it worth it.”
